Conference - Forensics to fight wildlife crime - 15th October 2025

09/09/25

FR-UK invite you to a unique evening at the Old Bailey to discover how forensics are used in the fight against wildlife crime.


Our guest speaker is Lisa Hywood from the Tikki Hywood Foundation. Set up in Zimbabwe in 1994, the Foundation works tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate and release poached and endangered animals into the wild, as well as raise awareness of critically endangered species including the pangolin, the world’s most trafficked animal.

Emmy-award winning filmmaker and writer Richie Mehta will also say a few words about his true crime drama series, Poacher.
